Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Meanwhile, in a very secretive place, people were seated around a round table.

The people seated were Old Maytan, Sheran, Matriarch Quiare, and the other heads with their Supreme Elders who can attend.

Further around them who were standing up were the Rank Ey assistants, Mer's group, and Rossiya who looked as if she had already lost her soul.

'It's too late now, it's too late now, it's my fault, it's my fault...'

Currently, they were meeting about Gamon's situation where they apologizing that they misunderstood some things.

The family with the biggest pressure was obviously the Crome Family who were the cause of the Penta Elementalist's imprisonment.

Even though it was in the middle of the night, these people have high endurance that they would feel energetic even after a whole week without sleep.

Matriarch Quiare seemed composed, however, her face was pale and inwardly, she was shouting.

'This is because of Alisera! If she's not that important to Queen Arcansas's ascension, we wouldn't plot so much! But calm down me, calm down. High risk, high return. As we get through this, the queen will ascend and Crome Family will be the ruler of the world! You have the biggest advantage so calm yourself.'

The Rank Es Matriarch showed her professionalism as she became calm.

At the same time, Old Maytan spoke, "No, it is our fault too. One of your respected elders was imprisoned and was treated unfairly. Furthermore, you treated Dragonnian Sheran's little sister well so we should be on equal grounds."

Matriarch Quiare was internally relieved, 'It seemed that the Might of Torge's benevolence isn't just a rumor.'

"So how about we do this?" Old Maytan continued, "We exchange. I see that you're interested in the talented youngsters we brought."

The others had their eyes widened, 'What a God-send gift!' their greed took over their minds.

"Except for Avion Teller, I am willing to give the four girls we brought to you in exchange for the Penta Elementalist. In this way, we can forget every grievance. After all, even if they're talented, they couldn't match the Penta Elementalist."

Everyone else nodded with a happy expression except for a few people like Matriarch Quiare, Elder Khor, and the Wrenwor Patriarch.

The Wrenwor Patriarch found a problem, 'Dear daughter, it seemed that your first love will be hard to get.'

Elder Gan raised his hand at that moment and spoke, "I only saw three talented girls. May I know who's the fourth one?"

While still being calm on the outside, Matriarch Quiare and Elder Khor were glancing at each other a few times already.

Meanwhile, Galion who came back to the Crome's secret laboratory felt a chill.

"I feel like some things are not going to end well."

Back to the round table, Old Maytan had his brows furrowed as well as he said, "Her name is Alisera, a princess from the lone island called Haliviana, just beyond the Areyas Sea from the Manuio Isle. She's the most talented of the four."

"Most talented..." the others gulped. They already saw the strengths of Edora, Mettany, and Tamya who were only Rank Dihs but had their blood evolved and already have the strength of peak Rank Cee.

'You're saying that this princess is more talented than these three?' they thought.

On the other hand, Matriarch Quiare and Elder Khor's calm faces froze.

Old Maytan then continued, "You see, the reason why we came to Haliviana is that we sensed abnormal energy there. I'm disclosing this important matter since I know that we can be future allies so listen carefully."

Everyone subconsciously leaned forward and Old Maytan began to tell about Haliviana herself, shocking almost everyone there.

'Rank Eses! And an inheritor of the Plant Origin!'

"The reason I flipped the whole Manuio Isle because I'm in a hurry. When I received the news that Gamon and the rest were captured, I worried about Alisera. After all, she holds that crystal of Haliviana. After all, the princess is the anchor of Haliviana to ascend. She feeds the princess energy until the princess is strong enough to be part of her ascension. However, that's still just a guess. All we know is that Alisera can also become a future Rank Es Life Elementalist or more."

After a serious tone, Old Maytan smiled, "However, that's still in the far future and she's only Rank Bih right now. Gamon, the Penta Elementalist, is far more important than her right now."

Everyone sweated. They just learned a hint to reach Rank Eses. All the were seated were all Rank Es, How could they not wish to become stronger than they're currently are?

Furthermore, a future Rank Es Life Elementalist and a gateway for the ascension of the Plant Origin's Inheritor!? If they got this princess, wouldn't they have a future Rank Es and a Rank Eses!?

Meanwhile, Matriarch Quaire was inwardly panicking, 'Liar! Liar! Haliviana was in the Penta Elementalist's hands! I know what you're doing and you got us pretty good!'

At that moment, the Matriach from the Freyor Family said, "I do remember seeing the princess together with the Penta Elementalist. So Matriarch Quiare, where did the princess go?"

The Sharya Patriarch had his eyes widened as he mentioned, "Wait doesn't Haliviana needs an anchor for ascension. According to Sir Maytan's story, she just suddenly disappeared. Didn't that happen to Queen Arcansas as well? Furthermore, aren't there rumors about talented youngsters mysteriously dying in your family?"

Everyone else shuddered upon realization.

Bang*

Matriarch Quiare slammed the table, cracking it even though she held back quite a lot, "Do not include our Queen who had passed away! Also, what nonsense are pointing out!?"

The Wrenwor Patriarch then spoke, "But isn't it true that the Crome Family are still the one who took in the Penta Elementalists and the others including this Princess Alisera? Where is she?"

While Matriarch Quiare was speechless, the Freyor Matriarch added.

"Correct me if I'm wrong but the island of Haliviana sounded familiar. Is that the island which you secretly sent an elder to a hundred years ago? You reasoned that it was nothing important, however, we found it exceedingly suspicious. Since the sudden disappearance of Queen Arcansas, even though you're pressured from all sides, why did you sent an important elder somewhere not important?"

"We turned a blind eye to it back then, however, not this time, Matriarch Quaire. Are you hiding something?" the Wrenwor Patriarch continued to pressure.

Meanwhile, Sheran had a face of awe as she stared at Old Maytan who was calm.

'So this is their plan!?'
